Monthly Specification Update Enterprise Platforms and Services Marketing Workaround You can solve this issue with an updated ACPIDRV.PSM driver for NetWare* 6.5 SP5 or SP6. You can download this patch from the following link: http://support.novell.com/servlet/downloadfile?file=/uns/nsd/psm7.exe/. To apply this driver update, complete the following steps: A. Create the DOS partition on the boot device. B. Create the c:\nwupdate\drivers directory. C. Place the contents of the \startup directory from this update in the directory created in Step B. D. Proceed with the installation. The NetWare* operating system will correctly detect the chipset for the machine and make the appropriate changes to the startup files. 4. Onboard LSI* RAID array cannot be detected even after loading the driver during the SLES10 SP1 installation. Problem Implication Status Workaround The onboard LSI* RAID array is not detected, even after loading the driver during the SLES10 SP1 installation. SLES10 SP1 installation does not detect the onboard LSI* RAID array after loading the driver. The operating system always loads the AHCI driver to take control of onboard storage; this causes a conflict with RAID drivers. Add the "brokenmodules=ahci" installation parameter to tell the operating system to not load the AHCI driver. This eliminates the conflict. 5. POST LED still on under Linux* operating system. Problem Implication Status Workaround The POST LED is still on under the Linux* operating system. There is no implication to the system. This issue was fixed in firmware 0.29. Update firmware to version 0.29 or later. 9
